So, I was planning on my character being a scavenger, and I'm thinking about their equipment. Would a .454 Caliber Taurus Raging Bull be enough to take down some of the smaller creatures? It can kill cape buffalo and african elephants. Also do they need any sort of protection other than gas masks?

Sounds reasonable to me. The gas mask is the crucial part as the air is contaminated. Your fur and clothing will protect the rest of your body.
